Submerged... More Water

First of all - thank you for all of your kind words yesterday. It’s encouraging that when I use this blog as an outlet for my questions and pondering about why God is the way he is or why he does what he does - you respond. It’s good to know others have felt, or do feel, the same way. It’s also humbling to remember - This is a job (!!) This is not the end of the world. This pales in comparison to the struggles of many. And, while the situation is vastly different, I hope my words can ring true in varying situations.

All that being said - I consider myself an optimist and I pick up my life with joy and I keep moving on. Doing what God has asked me to do... So what is that for today?

Today I respond by taking 50 energetic middle school and high school students away on a four day retreat. (Good grief - NOT by myself - but with other capable/willing volunteers)...

So - I’ll be away from my computer and will be unable to respond to all of your sweet and lovely comments (thank you!!). I like to be a dutiful blogger and respond to everyone who comments - so... If it doesn’t happen right away I WILL be going through and checking in on all that I missed when I return!

awesome pics again! thanks for the comments on the little guy... i can't get over that smile myself. :) and seriously... I must be losing my mind, I even commented on your post about your new camera! lol!

Oooh, that sounds like a lot of work (50!), but I wish you the best! :) Nice water shot below. It may sound like the easy way out, but I really believe if something doesn't happen that we gave our best shot at, then it wasn't meant to be. I bet later you find out why.
